Just a thought that came to mind today since the iphone 7 jet black is prone to scratches. Would one of these car coatings work on it? Gloss-coat? :drool:
 
Got a pelican case and zagg screen protector for my new 7. Not bullet proof, but as close as one can get.
 
Not even a case can protect soft aluminum from scratching... check your phone after having a case on it for oh... lets say a week of moderate use.

best bet is invisishield or similar film products.. maybe xpel?

I know a lot about polished and anodized/coated aluminum, really.
 
A nano coating is not going to resist scratching on the phone... or on a car... put a case on the phone or some sort of clear film that can be replaced when it gets scratched up.

Exactly. I have an iPad 3 that got the back scuffed inside an otter box. They nickname them slaughterbox for that reason.

All the above suggestions are great. Just make sure you don't get any product in the headphone jack. Im the MAN
 
4S is still the best one they ever made IMO, followed closely by the SE or whatever they called the latest 4" phone they released. Can you tell I'm not a fan of the giant phablet type phones? lol
 
Bought not one, but two S5's and both were experiencing technical malfunctions and the service center said take them back after we ran a diagnostics check. Take them back, we did. Bought 2 IPhone 6+'s. Great phones, easy screens to see, easy to use and type on, but we took them back as well. Much too large for us. I still love the size of the IPhone SE...fits nicely in my hand, can operate it with one hand, and fits nicely in a shirt pocket and can be buttoned inside a shirt pocket if I need that. I don't like cases, clips, or carrying them on my side.

APPLE...Give us a new small phone again and I'm all in, especially if the entire front becomes the screen. Until then, I'll stick to my non-smart phone that I went back to. Love not having to pay for a data package that I don't even need.
 
I know, just go with some kind of paint protection film lol. Actually there's the invisible shield, which is kind of the same thing you spray the film and install it on the front and back of the phone from scratch protection.

Me neither; and, I bet they're not exactly what
Flash Gordon or Dick Tracy had in mind either.

I have Opti Coated IPhones Before. I also did my IPAD and my sons laptop. It does not resist the scratches but it does seem easier to wipe off and keep clean. I like to opti coat things like that what is the harm and it does look a like it has a better shine
